It's not Exxon Valdiz.<br /><br />It looks to me to be much more a "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski."<br /><br />Sure, there's an oil spill.<br /><br />There is a huge upside for Obama, the oil industry looking to drill all the coastal waters, Wall Street, and the interests of slime and greed at large, -should this whole "disaster" suddenly prove Obama's greatest day in saving the planet like the SuperMan he is continually being portrayed to be.<br /><br />And the supposed mystery about the stock market drop? Well, that fits in very neatly, because if the stock market is going to SOAR on the news that SuperMan has saved the Gulf, it had to be driven down the-way-it-was -first.<br /><br />I'm not convinced than that this isn't just another Swine Flu-like concoction of the propagandists.<br /><br />Where's the BEEF?

Booms would have had little effect on oil comming from 5,00 feet down. Wave action was breaking it up on the surface and washing over the booms. At this point the exact cause of the blowout is unknown and Palast is sure not going to understand it from an engineering standpoint. <br /><br />I wonder if, when he has an oil change, he follows those five quarts to ensure there is no resulting pollution from his activety. Isn't he the one ultimately responsible for the disposal of his own waste?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-6828312058308523162010-05-07T15:56:20.525-07:002010-05-07T15:56:20.525-07:00One wonders if this were 1948 and the country invo...One wonders if this were 1948 and the country involved were the Soviet Union, what approach Josef Stalin may have taken to an industry management failure of this description?<br /><br />Andrei VyshinskyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
